Cold City is a big city in the west of the Huoyun Empire, and it is also the western gate of the empire. Located in a canyon between two mountains, the city locked the orcs into the depths of the empire, and there was only one wall to climb and attack, which was extremely dangerous. It is precisely because of this that the orcs have only fought the autumn wind on the border of the empire for many years, and they have never dared to easily send troops to attack the Huoyun Empire.

However, outside the cold city at this time, tens of thousands of orcs gathered, waving flags and waving their flags, and the sound of killing shook the sky. The entire cold city was caught in the flames of war.

"Rush me, take this city, there is good wine and food in it!" a lion man, standing under the cold city, brandished his mace, and roared loudly.

"Whoever fucking climbs the city wall first, and will be rewarded with ten taels of gold!!" a werewolf drew a long knife and pointed at the wall of the cold city, and shouted.

Groups of orcs, under the command of the commanders, risked their lives to climb the ladder and climb the walls of the cold city. When he was about to reach the end of the wall, a stone the size of a grinding disc fell from the city wall, bringing up blood flowers. Many of the orcs fell down and became part of the thick corpses beneath the walls, and the orcs behind rushed up on them. The orcs who accidentally rushed to the top of the wall were quickly dismembered by the defenders on the wall, and fell from the wall in pieces, and they were no longer blessed to receive the reward of the commander.

The strong smell of blood made the orcs furious, and their attacks became more and more ferocious. And the defenders at the head of the city, too, felt the threat of death from the smell of blood, and became desperate to fight for their lives.

A ** orc rushed up, and another ** retreated. The defenders on the city walls, under the attack of the orcs, also suffered a rapid increase in casualties.

As the sun set, the horde of orcs finally stopped. Under the city walls, the orc soldiers were busy carrying the corpses, and the defenders on the city walls didn't seem to bother to take care of it, taking advantage of the gap between the war to recover their strength as soon as possible. On the battlefield, there was a sudden silence, only the screams of the wounded from time to time, reminding people that there had been a tragic war here.

Fierce Tiger, the commander of the Third Legion of the Orcs, stood outside the tent, staring at the cold city with his eyes firmly fixed. In the orc army, he was known for daring to fight tough battles, so the orc king gave him the task of attacking the cold city.

The weakness of the cold city's defenses surprised the fierce tiger.

At that time, the fierce tiger was sighing that the tiger of the Huoyun Empire, after a long period of peace, finally took a nap, giving him a chance to take advantage of it.

But he didn't expect that the next day he would encounter stubborn resistance, and he actually attacked for five days without taking it, and suffered nearly 20,000 casualties.

"Well, maybe this time it's worth the loss!" Fierce Tiger sighed and shook his head, "But, Hancheng, tomorrow everything you have will belong to the orcs!"

Thinking of the large area of rich land and a large amount of food behind the cold city, Liehu's mood seemed to be better.

On the wall of the cold city, a female general in battle armor was checking the casualties of the soldiers and the consumption of materials to defend the city back and forth.

"Your Highness Princess, all we have left is these stones and gold juice. If the orcs attack again tomorrow, the cold city may fall!, so you must leave today!" The defender of the cold city, General Luo Lin, who was about thirty years old, quickly chased after him and whispered in Naya's ear.

"I am the princess of the Empire, how can I leave my soldiers alone and flee for my life when I am in danger?"

"General Rollin, if this city falls, let's die together for the country!" Looking at Rollin, who was covered in injuries and exhausted, Naya's heart couldn't help but soften, and she said softly, her tone still firm and absolute.

"Princess, you're trapping me for infidelity!" Rollin choked.

The unexpected attack of the orcs was something he didn't expect. Because it is customary that every year in autumn, the orcs will fight the autumn wind on the border of the empire, but they never invade in a big way. Although Hancheng is the gateway to the west of the empire, there are only 20,000 defenders in the city because there has been no war for a long time, and the terrain of Hancheng is dangerous, and there is only one city wall that can be attacked.

Luo Lin didn't expect that when the orcs suddenly attacked, the city panicked, and the people rushed to flee, Princess Naya, the emperor's favorite princess, suddenly appeared in the cold city and personally came to the front line to command the battle.

"General Rollin, I am the princess of the country, and behind me are our land and people, do you want me to abandon them? If I leave, I will be disloyal to the empire and my people!" Naya sighed softly.

Although she has the talent to be natural, in the treacherous terrain of Cold City, which is suitable for defense and not for attack, in the face of a powerful orc army, she can't think of it except to wait for a delay.

The weakness of the cold city's defenses surprised her and made her very angry. There were not enough arrows, there were not enough equipment to defend the city, there was not enough food to stockpile, and even the weapons for the soldiers were insufficient. For this reason, on the first day of the war, she ordered the beheading of the quartermaster of Hancheng, a close relative of a powerful person in the imperial capital.

In the face of all this, Luo Lin was ashamed, and Naya did not pursue it too much, because she understood that in the officialdom of the imperial capital, a general who was outside did not dare to exonerate a nobleman who was in the center of power. At the same time, in the past few days, Luo Lin's performance has also made her very gratified, she didn't expect that such a cowardly person, at the moment of life and death, what he thought of was not to escape, but to die with the city.

Looking at the laborers transporting stones to and from the city, Naya said desolately, "General Rollin, look at these people of the empire. They could have escaped, but they gave up. They even demolished their houses and brought in the stones. What are they for? Just to hold this city, to have the opportunity to rebuild their homes on this land. You say, is it worth dying for them?"

"However, Your Highness Princess, it is the responsibility of the general to defend the city, and you are just passing by by accident. Depart tonight. I will not wait here for reinforcements to arrive, and swear to live and die with the cold city!"

"Don't say it, I've made up my mind. Naya said lightly, "When will the nearest reinforcements arrive?"

"Five days. We have enough food, but I'm afraid the soldiers won't be able to hold on. Rollin said.

"Why are the orcs attacking the cold city this time? This is not their usual style, are they going to go to all-out war with the Empire?" Naya felt confused, looking at the dense orc camp outside the city, and couldn't help but shake her head.

"Rollin, gather the soldiers. Naya said softly.

Soon, large groups of soldiers were gathered on the walls and inside the city.

Standing at the top of the city wall, Naya's crisp voice reverberated throughout the city wall.

"Soldiers, I am the Imperial Princess Naya. Today, the Orcs have openly invaded our territory, attacked our cities, and plundered our people, and the Empire will never tolerate them! As you may know, the enemy we face is very strong, but I am determined to work with all the soldiers to defend the cold city and never leave an inch! Behind the cold city are our parents and brothers, our rich land, and we must not let the iron hooves of the orcs ravage us! Are you willing to fight and die with me in the cold city?"

"May I die with the princess!" all the soldiers replied with a bang, and even some of the wounded struggled to get up from the ground.

"Okay, you are all good men of the Empire! The Empire will not forget you!" With tears in her eyes, Naya walked down the wall.

"Is it true that the Empire will not forget them?" a voice asked Naya.

Naya remembered what Liuyun had said again, and after experiencing the cruelty of war, she realized the cuteness and respectability of these soldiers.

"Rollin, go and bring me all the nobles of the cold city to the city wall. Naya said coldly.

Soon, Luo Lin led people and brought all the nobles who did not run away from the cold city to the city wall. Most of these nobles were panicked and looked panicked.

"I'm Princess Naya of the Empire, and it's an honor to meet you. You are all nobles of the empire, and when this time of national crisis, I hope that everyone will be loyal to the country. From this day forward, you will remain here to fight the enemy. The cold city is here, you are here, the cold city is dead, you will go to the national disaster with me. I believe that you, as aristocrats, should have this awareness. Naya said coldly.

"Ah!" exclaimed several nobles, who fainted on the spot. Naya turned away, not looking at the nobles again.

Subsequently, Naya organized 10,000 of the remaining 12,000 troops in the cold city into five brigades, and Luo Lin was responsible for defending the city in rotation. And she personally led 2,000 people as a death squad to recapture the fallen city wall.

Night finally shrouded the cold city. The heavy night was like black clouds pressing down on the city, making Naya's heart confused.

"Tomorrow, what kind of fate will be waiting for me, waiting for the soldiers of the cold city?"
